2011 Triple Crown Bouldering Series: Hound Ears Results

Narc — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 00:27:16 +0000

The 2011 Triple Crown Bouldering Series got underway last weekend¹ at Hound Ears, North Carolina, an area open to climbing but one day a year for the Triple Crown.

While the entire Triple Crown is more about raising awareness for access issues and offering a competitive but still fun environment for the community as a whole, I always find it interesting to note who is winning the Open division throughout the series. The main question in my mind leading into this year’s series was could anybody dethrone Jimmy Webb, winner of the last eight Triple Crown events and reigning 3 time overall champion. The answer is that we’ll never know since Webb decided not to compete this year.

This left things wide open for Illinois transplant Brad Weaver to win the Men’s Open division while two time defending Women’s overall champ Kasia Pietras continued her domination by winning the women’s event.

Hound Ears Women’s Open Results	Hound Ears Men’s Open Results
Kasia Pietras 7,609 Isabelle Faus 7,183 Leanna Lockhart 3,359	Brad Weaver 13,128 Nate Draughn 12,508 Andrew Palmer 11,373

Full Results

DPM was on hand for the event, and they compiled this report to go along with this video. There’s also a large gallery of images posted here.

Jimmy Webb and Brion Voges, who took 2nd in the overall standings each of the past two years, both didn’t compete in the comp, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t at Hound Ears taking advantage of the day. Freed from the pressure of focusing on filling out a comp scorecard they each established a new double digit problem, both of which you can see in this video.

Update: In his latest blog post Webb indicates that he will in fact compete in the remaining events.

Albeit a day late due to some inclement weather on Saturday which forced the event to be postponed for a day ↩

2010 Triple Crown Bouldering Series: Stone Fort Results

Narc — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:05:47 +0000

The final stop of the 2010 Triple Crown Bouldering Series took place last weekend at a soggy Stone Fort outside Chattanooga, TN. In addition to the normal difficulties associated with trying to climb your 10 hardest problems within the course of the day competitors were faced with wet topouts and conditions that became dangerous to the point that comp organizers were forced to end the event a bit early. The day was not a waste, however, as many boulders did get climbed and a pair of familiar names once again topped the field.

Not deterred by an injured finger Jimmy Webb continued his domination of the Triple Crown running his streak of victores on the circuit to 8 and capturing his 3rd straight overall title. For the women it was much the same with Kasia Pietras taking the win at The Stone Fort and capturing her 2nd straight overall series title.

Not mentioned in any of the results is Daniel Woods who made the trip out for the comp and nabbed quick sends of The Shield (V12), The Chattanoogan (V12) and Flying High (V11) according to his 8a scorecard.

Here are the final results for the Open divisions with full results available at the Triple Crown’s website.

Stone Fort Women’s Open Results	Stone Fort Men’s Open Results
Kasia Pietras 8,292 Holly McMullen 7,926 Isabelle Faus 7,125	Jimmy Webb 15,372 Brion Voges 14,438 Senya Iaryguine 10,062

Triple Crown 2010 Women’s Open	Triple Crown 2010 Men’s Open
Kasia Pietras 20,855 Isabelle Faus 18,333 Holly McMullen 17,825 Leanna Lockhart 14,815 Angie Payne 8,525	Jimmy Webb 43,312 Brion Voges 39,186 Senya Iaryguine 25,345 Brad Weaver 25,147 Taylor Pritchard 13,820

The 2010 Triple Crown Bouldering Series kicked off last Saturday at Hound Ears, NC with a pair of familiar faces besting the field as last year’s overall Triple Crown winners Kasia Pietras and Jimmy Webb both started the 2010 edition of the series with victories.

Here are the top 3 finishers for each of the open divisions. More results can be found on the Triple Crown website.
